So you want tail lights made dimmer? Oh, ok.

Next...


Tail lights ARE dimmer than brakes. Traditionally 5W of incandescent for tail and 21W for brakes.

I'm just suggesting the dimness should be created in a different manner. Either the PWM has a higher frequency, or provide smooth DC at a lower voltage than that to create 21W equivalent.
